Post Gala Update

The Knight to Remember fundraiser for the benefit of Our Lady of Sorrows School was held at The Stone Terrace by John Henry on the evening of April 28.

The prize amounts and ticket numbers were: 1st - $10,667.50 (003943); 2nd - $6400.50 (10646); 3rd - $4267.00 (07143).

Monsignor Gervasio and Mrs. Maureen Tuohy (OLS School Principal) would like to thank all who helped make the evening such a huge success, from the members of our school and parish community who worked so tirelessly on the event to those who simply bought 50/50 or tricky tray tickets, your contribution is greatly appreciated.

Knight to Remember 2021

Although our world is a very different place than it was a year ago, we will once again be hosting our largest fundraising event—our Knight to Remember Gala.

Due to the pandemic, this year’s event, scheduled for April 16, 2021, will be held “virtually.” It will be a celebration of the 65th Anniversary of Our Lady of Sorrows School—certainly a wonderful milestone to observe!

Last year the KTR Gala raised more than $38,000. The funds raised from the event supplement our tuition costs and make a Catholic education a reality for many students.

We are again selling 50/50 tickets this year. They may be obtained at the parish office (609-587-4370) or at the school office (609-587-4140). Please note that as of this writing, 1st prize has risen to $13,010, and we're just getting started! Don’t miss your opportunity to be a winner!

Our students thank you for your support!

Please watch for more information in future bulletins.
